Check Ping — Internet Speed & Game Latency Test
Free online ping & speed test. Measure latency, jitter, packet loss and bandwidth instantly.
Why Is My Speed Lower Than Expected?
If your result is below your plan's advertised speed, don't panic — the cause is usually one of these, not your line.
You're on Wi-Fi
The #1 reason. Walls, distance and interference can keep wireless far below your line capacity — gigabit plans often measure 100-500 Mbps over Wi-Fi. Use an Ethernet cable for accurate results.
Read the guide →Distance to the test server
Every test measures the path between you and a test server. If your ISP routes traffic abroad, ping rises and speed drops. Check the "Test Server" field under your results to see where you connected.
Read the guide →Other devices sharing your network
A TV streaming 4K, a console downloading a game, or a phone backing up to the cloud all share your bandwidth. Pause other devices while testing.
Read the guide →Modem / router limits
Old or entry-level ISP-supplied modems may not sustain high speeds. If your hardware is 5+ years old, update the firmware or ask your ISP for a replacement.
Read the guide →Your device's own limits
Older laptops may have 100 Mbps Ethernet ports; phone and tablet antennas rarely measure gigabit. The most accurate result comes from a modern computer on a cable.
Peak hours
Between 7 PM and 11 PM you share infrastructure with your whole neighborhood. If speed only drops in the evening, ISP congestion is the cause.
